Irregular time

Its a challenge of my own design.
The goal: to write a piece, with at least to staves per system (ie. a solo piano OR a flute and clarinet) using only the following time signatures -

3/8,5/8,7/8,11/8,13/8

You may use the time signatures freely, change them where you like, but it must never use a time signature not listed.

At the top of your work, and every time the time changes, please indicate the counting (ie. for a 5/8 bar you could do 2+3 or 3+2).

You may use any key, style, instrument(s) (including voice), dynamics, tempo and, musical form.

REMEMBER: only the listed time signatures and at least 2 staves!

This is totally for fun, but I was playing around with the idea of 11/8 the other day and really liked it.

I would like to have everyones in by MAY 14TH.

Please include mp3 or midi as well as PDF or Finale score.

Totally for fun. Just a test of your creativity.
